  • INSTRUMENTAL CONDITIONED REFLEXES with SEXUAL REINFORCEMENT in RATS the Purpose of the Present Work Was to Elaborate a Method Of
    ACTA NEUROBIOL. EXP. 1971, 31: 251-262 INSTRUMENTAL CONDITIONED REFLEXES WITH SEXUAL REINFORCEMENT IN RATS Jozef BECK Department of Mother Welfare, Research Institute of Mother and Child Health, Warsaw 20. Poland The purpose of the present work was to elaborate a method of in- vestigation of the instrumental CRs with sexual reinforcement. The examination of such reflexes in various experimental situations gives more precise information about sexual drive levels than simple observa- tion of sexual behavior. Moreover, this is the only way for obtaining exact data concerning the changes in the drive level in females during the mating behavior. As in natural conditions the intervals between copulations, which can be treated as the indicator of these changes, are imposed by the male. There is a small number of findings concerned with instrumental sexual reflexes (Sheffield et al. 1951, Denniston 1954, Kagan 1955, Beach and Jordan 1956, Bermant 1961, Peirce and Nuttall 1961, Bolles et al. 1968) in comparison to those which concern instrumental alimentary or defensive reflexes. Therefore, a comparison between unconditioned ali- mentary and sexual reflexes seems desirable and scientifically interesting. Both reflexes belong to the group of preservative reflexes (Konorski 1970). While the biological role of the unconditioned alimentary reflex is preservation of individual life, the sexual reflex is responsible for con- tinuation of the life of the species. In both unconditioned reflexes two components are observed: the drive and the consummatory responses. For the unconditioned alimentary reflex the drive is hunger, manifested by behavior directed to reach food and the consummatory reaction is the act of food digesting.
